This is a ridiculous, terrible move for Blizzard to make. I understand that they’re trying to improve the quality of their forum conversations, but there are other ways to do that that don’t require people to put their livelihoods, lives, or just peace of mind at risk.

If you're looking for a web host, I can't recommend DreamHost highly enough. I have a discount I can share with signups - if you sign up using bananashoulders as a promo code you get $50 off your first year's hosting and a free permanent domain registration.
